Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Medicines, APIs and many health-related chemicals need approval from the Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA). Certain hazardous substances are restricted items that require an import permit before shipment, so check the list with Maldives Customs Service. Environmental matters fall under the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy. Most sea cargo from India is transhipped at Colombo, so allow for that in planning. A SAFTA certificate of origin can support preferential duty. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

Inorganics & Metals for Maldives

Do you ship inorganics & metals to Maldives?
Yes. We ship by sea to Malé and Colombo (transhipment), by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.
Which documents come with a inorganics & metals shipment to Maldives?

How long does delivery to Maldives take?
Allow 8–14 days for ocean transit or 2–3 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.
What does 'trace metals basis' mean on an inorganic product?
It means the stated purity is calculated from the measured levels of metallic impurities, usually by ICP-MS or ICP-OES, rather than from a direct assay of the main component. Non-metallic impurities such as oxygen, carbon or moisture may not be included. Check the COA to see which elements were tested and their limits.
Can metals be cut or sized to my drawing?
Many foils, rods, plates and targets can be supplied in custom dimensions, thicknesses or diameters. Send a drawing or the key measurements with the tolerance you need. We will confirm feasibility, lead time and the purity available in that form before quoting, since some shapes are only made from certain grades.
